Step 2The next day, roll out the dough (5 mm) and cut 5 or 6 8-point stars, from small to big. cut a hole in the center of each star (see Montage) Bake on baking paper until dry and brown. Let the stars cool completely.
Step 3Montage: You will need a board with a stick or thin rod well stuck in it. Insert a waffer cilinder in the stick (if you can't get waffers or don't want to use them, you can make cardboard cilinders; make them sturdy!). Insert the largest star and sprinkle with powder sugar. Insert another waffer, then the second-largest star, then sprinkle. repeat until the smallest star is in place. End with a waffer and some tinsel.
